I am looking for research on quantifying and tracking rate of glyphosate and adjuvent accumulation in the environment and in various crops/soils and biochemical FaTe- does anyone know if glyphosate and adjuvants fractionate during and after application- for example when herbicides become airborne- do glyphosate and adjuvants behave the same ? Does tracking glyphosate in crops and environment, biologicals provide an accurate proxy for adjuvants? Is there a matrix matched standard and analytical technique for analyzing glyphosate in a variety of crops and soilswater etc?
Please have a look at some enclosed PDFs, quite interesting indeed...
Thanks for your article Harald, that is a start. Yes, I agree, the “ proprietary “ undisclosed nature of the adjuvants makes it difficult to get to them bottom of how they behave. What is concerning is that the adjuvants have a more toxic effect on biological organisms than the glyphosate itself it seems, and that it should be studied more but is not.
